Aston Villa left-back is the subject of interest from both Marseille and Premier League side Everton - with La Provence, a news outlet in France , reporting that Amavi’s representatives have met with club sporting director Andoni Zubizarreta on more than one occasion.

Amavi’s wages, however, are thought to be a potential stumbling block for Marseille - he took a hefty pay rise when he joined Villa the summer before last, on a five-year contract.
